I have also acted as a consultant on several permanent installations in the world of corporate communications, including boardroom global conferencing systems for British American Tobacco

My duties involved a direct liaison with our clients which included the specification of equipment required on specific projects, the management of the technical team and most enjoyably, the design and creation of sound effects and other programme material. I was also responsible for the supervision of projects on-site, when necessary including development and management of the design and build of the innovative 'CDTC' device.

Being a preferred specialist for the White House Communications Agency, I have cleared and maintain high-degree background security clearances. Projects of note during this period include President Clinton’s public address to Belfast in 1995 and his public address at Cambridge in 1994 (including broadcast provisions in both cases), as on-site sound supervisor.

Production sound assistant, for the ‘Brit Awards’ 1995-96.

Floor mix engineer ‘Club-X’ series 1 & 2 for Channel four, 1992-93.

I was responsible for the drafting of a renovation plan for TPS that included financial control and purchase/disposal policies. New stock management systems, refurbishment and capital expenditure planning which in turn involved consideration of new technologies.

Working under the trading name of Eatonalive, I concentrated on special event sound design and temporary installations. One of my most challenging clients was Sony Broadcast. I became responsible for designing sound systems to enhance the demonstration of thier High Definition Video format. These included Dolby surround and Ambisonic installations at several International Broadcast Commission venues.

Other projects of interest included a spell with Gloria Gaynor, a period with the Bolshoi Opera in Moscow which culminated in productions of Mlada and Joan d’Arc in Glasgow 1990 for which I was made an Honorary General of the Soviet Peoples Army! Sound installation manager for ‘Poppy’ at the Adelphi theatre and ‘Phantom of the Opera’ at Her Majesty's theatre. The Bolshoi Opera first European Tour.

The sound department at Unit One was co-founded by Phil Grief and myself to cater to the growing corporate business and the increasing demand from theatrical productions. Our brief included a great deal of corporate video production. It was during this time that I introduced the AKG C747 microphone into corporate use.

My experience as a live mix engineer began during this period and I spent six months in Australia with the Samuelson Film Services office, Sydney in late 1982. After returning to England I worked with artists such as Elkie Brookes (U.K. tour) Elvis Costello (Punch the Clock U.S.A.) Steve Winwood (U.K. & Europe). Also short engagements with Aswad. Johnny Thunder, Patti Paledino and several other New York new wavers. I also worked seasons as mix engineer for Lena Horne (assisting the great Lenny Wills),Cleo Laine and Johnny Dankworth.

In early 1984, I began to do more work in theatre and the London West End in particular, occasionally as an assistant to such well-regarded sound designers as Martin Lavant and Derrick Zieba. I was amongst the first sound engineers in the U.K. to start using the Sennheiser MKE2 capsule on radio microphones.
